Next Schools
Ciao! We are a pioneering base in Alessandria, Italy.
YWAM Homestead is brand-new! We established the ministry location in December, 2025. God has given us a big vision and this webiste reflects it. As you consider joining us or coming to visit, please keep in mind that many of our listed projects are in their infancy, and not yet a reality.
OUR WHY
To see communities transformed by the gospel and love of Jesus by informing, equipping, and sending ambassadors of Christ (to them)
To offer a range of support, including guidance, resources, trainings, and opportunities, in order to help people find purpose in life and make an impact on those around them
To model a sustainable, holistic lifestyle
THE VISION
Train missionaries to go and live the gospel in rural communities equipped with tools, education, & practical sustainable small-scale farming practices to improve their communities long-term.
Impact Alessandria, by opening up the campus to the community for trainings & recreation. Revival is coming to Italy. Aim: make disciples that make disciples.
Create a skill training center where anyone, particularly refugees, can develop job & business skills as they are being discipled.
House a sustainable farm, a homestead and for this we are praying and looking for a big property. Students will be trained in organic gardening, animal husbandry, beekeeping, water sanitation practices, and more.
CORE FOCUSES
COMMUNITY OUTREACH
Our farm/campus is open to the community for sport activities, workshops, community garden plots, kids programs, seasonal events, elderly and youth programs, family fun, etc.
We are joining forces with the local church and other ministries to see Alessandria set on fire for Jesus.
SUSTAINABLE
FARM
The farm will feature an organic vegetable garden, a compost lot, flowers, fruit trees, an herb garden, cows, pigs, goats, sheep, bees, chickens, turkeys, and more.
As a result, it can produce vegetables, rich soil, bee habitat, fruit, herbs, cheese, milk, eggs, meat, wool, honey, beeswax, & more. In the future, we plan to open a Coffee & Farm Shop for connecting with locals and selling farm products.
UNIVERSITY OF
THE NATIONS
University of the Nations is an international training institution with 600 locations on all continents and in 160 nations and is part of YWAM ministries.
At our campus, our focus is to train missionaries with practical tools to make a long lasting impact on the rural communities of the world.
SKILL TRAINING CENTER
Community transformation happens as individuals transform through discipleship.
The Skill Training Center offers classes in farming, animal husbandry, baking, customer service, carpentry, languages, and more.
Students will go through a discipleship process as part of their training program.
FIRST DO, THEN TEACH
We endeavor to develop a model farm that serves as a powerful educational tool for people seeking to embrace rural and community life.
The project embraces the principles of sharing resources, showcasing successful practices, and enabling others to replicate our model. By bringing attention to the region and offering practical training, we empower people to adopt effective farming methods and strengthen relationships within their own communities.

Our community includes volunteers from all around the world and local friends of all ages. Generations come together in prayer and worship, developing and maintaining lasting ministries. Responsibilities and roles are rotated among members and cross-training is encouraged.
